Hobbies Scale Model Kits

[GTRsean]

It just occured to me that I haven't seen a scale model skyline in the forum (pics).

Just wondering if any of you guys and gals have built any skyline or similar kits in your spare time?

If you have you should post up some pics of your favourites you have built and painted.

When I couldn't drive for a while I got a bit bored:

Hand painted em and spray painted the shells.

I still have to build my GT-R 32 with the Gibson Racing Team colours from their first Bathurst.....

i've been really into building these kits lately. have built the R33/34 calsonic skylines, KURE R33 skyline, R33 nismo GTR. am currently building an R34 gt-t and a veilside S14 which is green with gold pearl. i love modifying them with bodykits, custom interiors and GT wings! i'll post up some pics through the week.....

i collect GTR's in 1/24 scale....have about 16 now from KPGC 10 to R34 z tune....including some rarer japanese group A cars like Taisan and BP cars. Will build them one day.

I'm in the middle of a 300zx .... for the past year now... it's just so cramped in the engine bay ...

have a 350Z and an S15 sitting there waiting for me as well... and I'm looking at a few different JGTC lines to purchase as well.....

GTRsean, thats a very impressive collection there...

How mich do these go for on average?

Id really like an N1 R32 GTR in white

Or even the Gibson GTR's

i had a black R32 GTR that i did... sprayed it in a black, with metallic finish to it... turned out fantastic!

its in parts at the moment though, as i bumped it and knocked it off the cupboard and it smashed

might do another one if i ever get the time...

depends on where you look. some go for around $30. others are more expensive. i've seen one of the Veilside S14's with sticker price of $85! that is TOO much. because most of the cars they make are japanese, cars like the gibson GTR might be hard to find, but you can pick up some awesome jap cars like the Z tune, R32 GTR Vspec II and heaps of others.....

I have 3 R33 GTR's, 1 R32 GTR, 1 R34 GTR, 1 R34 Z Tune and 1 V35 350GT all sitting at home waiting to be built. They will get built eventually, but i have about 30 different cars waiting to be built at the moment.

[morgsj50]

[**JaR**]

what scale was that S14 in? if it was 1:18 that isnt that bad a price, though the car it is, i really wouldnt pay that much either.

we have Vspec 34 GTR models for sale in 1:18 that are goin for $110.

can probably source a heap of models of nissan's etc if anyone interested.

just had a look before and couldnt find em, strange coz i know ive seen the 33 gtr models on there before unless they are sold out.

can get a heap of different 32, 34 gtr models, jgtc cars, and even old skool gtr's n stuff for anyone that wants em though.
